ABSTRACT:
A system or structure allowing conversion of the front area seating of a van to a dinette for two and/or four persons and to a single and/or double bed. The structures provided enable the front passenger seat to rotate 360 degrees and slide over a position adjacent to the driver seat which also can be rotated 360 degrees. The single seat directly behind the driver seat can be extended sideways to form a double seat. The table in between the front seats and seat directly behind these seats is cantilevered from a wall cabinet located below the window, which is located in the exterior sidewall directly behind the driver seat. This table is removable at will for storage in a coat closet or lowered to serve as a base for a single or double bed. The two part hinged front leaf may be folded back over the main rear leaf to allow ample space for the driver seat to slide back and forth on tracks when in the forward driving position. When the table is lowered to the bed base position, the rear seat cushion(s) is moved forward thereby resting on the lowered table. The back rest(s) is lowered into the location of the seat cushion. The two front seats are rotated to face one another with the passenger seat slid over to a position directly adjacent the driver seat. The arrangement makes for a double bed or a single bed if only the driver seat and the cushions (without the extensions) of the rear seating are used.
